Highland Street Special Green Tomato Pickles ### Ingredients:

4 cups green tomatoes, sliced
2 onions, sliced
1 cup green bell peppers, sliced
1 cup salt
4 cups sugar
2 cups vinegar (white or apple cider)
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns

Instructions:

First things first, combine your sliced green tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix it well.
Cover the bowl and let it sit for about 12 hours. This will help draw out the moisture from the veggies.
After sitting, rinse the veggies under cold water and drain them thoroughly. You want to get rid of that excess salt.
In a large pot, mix together the sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, turmeric, celery seeds, and black peppercorns. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Once it’s boiling, add your drained vegetables to the pot. Turn down the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This is where the flavors really start to blend together!
After simmering, carefully ladle the pickles and their juice into clean, sterilized jars. Make sure you seal them well.
Let them cool to room temperature, then store them in the fridge. They’ll be ready to enjoy after about 48 hours, but if you can wait a week, your patience will be rewarded!

These green tomato pickles pack a punch of flavor and are sure to be a hit at your next gathering or family meal. So, what are you waiting for? Get those ingredients and start pickling!
